Hilarious! Nipper looks great with his bad boy face on!

Yes, I have one that I found in Nebraska on my way to Union several years ago. It wasn't cheap. Jerry Blais

A dog resembling Nipper advertised “His Master’s Choice” cigars. 1904 cigar cans came in both round and rectangle shapes. There is also a cigar box. They are quite rare.

More information is found in “Nipper Collectibles” Vol I. We authored three volumes of Nipper Collectibles books and they will be for sale at the Union Show.

Our advice to collectors seeking information is: Join APS and buy resource books pertaining to our hobby. We greatly appreciate the books written by Tim Fabrizio and George Paul. They should be in every collector’s library.

Be sure to attend the APS program on Friday, June 8th. A wealth of information will be shared at this event and it is open to everyone.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Union show.

Happy Collecting,

Rob & Joan
